I agree, but it should not stop when somebody still uses FAT32, and it
encounters a file > 4Gb...

Bug description:
Bug: When I want to backup a folder that contains files with a size > 4gb.
- The backup ends at this file.
- That happens because FAT32 can not handle files that are > 4gb.
- The user gets no message and beliefs that all files were saved without 
failures.

My suggestion:
 -A message should appear that the file xyz* could not be saved because FAT32 
can only handle files with a size < 4gb.
- The backup should continue.
